  • Publication number: 20070067851
    Abstract: One embodiment of the present invention provides a system that facilitates issuing rights in a digital rights management system. The system operates by sending a request to perform an operation on an item of content from a client to a rights-management server, wherein the request includes a usage parameter which specifies constraints involved in performing the operation. Next, the system receives a response from the rights-management server, wherein the response indicates whether or not the client has rights to perform the operation in accordance with the constraints specified by the usage parameter. Note that the response may also include a hint that facilitates generating subsequent requests to perform the operation. Finally, if the client has rights to perform the operation, the system performs the operation on the item of content.

  • Patent number: 6397753
    Abstract: A water-based apparatus for mitigating the gas pressure loading and associated damage and injuries from a fully or partially confined explosion. The water-based apparatus comprises a water-blanket which rests on each pallet of ordnance to mitigate the gas pressure loading from an inadvertent explosion of the ordnance. The water-blanket includes a pair of storage modules, each module comprising a plurality of water storage compartments that store a predetermined quantity of water which is dependent upon the type and quantity of explosive in the ordnance on the pallet. The storage modules are joined by a zipper which allows the modules to be separated for ease in transport.

  • Patent number: 4325025
    Abstract: An apparatus for measuring the surface potential and impurity concentration in a semi-conductor body by monitoring the current flowing in a semiconductor body when the body is biased with a ramp voltage above its flat band voltage and summing the monitored current with the ramp voltage biasing the body. The apparatus provides direct measurement of surface potential and impurity concentration in a semiconductor structure and is especially useful in metal insulator semiconductor (MIS) structures.
